Hi all, I'm thinking of heading north this weekend, and I'd like suggestions for flatter hikes. I've been dealing with a hip flexor problem that has plagued me for over a year, so I'm hesitant to try anything with too much vertical/scrambling. I've never done Nancy/Norcross or Thoreau Falls...

I saw this on Time for Tuckerman, and thought I'd repost here: "Have friends vacationing in the Franconia, New Hampshire area. Out walking the trails in the woods, with 3 dogs. 2 of them took off into the woods, one stayed there. Found one four hours later, back where they started their hike...

Hi all, I'm looking into doing a 10-day trip up to Cape Breton in July and wonder if anyone has been there and can make any recommendations? I've been reading the Web sites, but info is rather limited. I'd especially like to know about hiking and camping in the area. Thanks!

Just wanted to give folks a heads up. Apparently on Sunday 7/1, a moose fell off a cliff or some tall rocks right on the Mahoosuc trail in the Notch somewhere close to the Notch trail. (And supposedly someone videotaped it!) It broke several legs and was pretty messed up. We heard about it from...

Hi all, Planning a backpack into the Dry River to bag Isolation with 7 people. Can anyone tell me if there are designated sites anywhere close to the trail up to Isolation from the Dry River Trail? There is a shelter further up the Dry River Trail, but it makes more sense to camp closer to the...

OK, I can't seem to change the title, so I am resending this. "The" Dave Metsky, myself and another friend are hiking the Kinsmans on this Sat. We plan to be on the trail at 9:00. Hoping for more participants so that we can spot a car and hike the backside. PM me or Dave if you are interested...

Has anyone done this section of trail? I'm heading up there next weekend for a short backpack over PUzzle to the Stewart campsite. What's the climb up Puzzle like? Steep, rocky? Hard to tell from the online map I found. Any info is appreciated.

Any recommendations? I may need it soon...:)
